Happy Birthday, Babe!

Wow, 34. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating your 21st--or should I say you were celebrating followed by a drunken stop at my dorm room. Who'd have guessed 13 years later, we'd be where we are? We've had quite a ride, moving from a wicked awesome bmx bike to a ride pimped out with spinners that don't spin; living life 4 hours apart as a newly married couple to a life separated by an ocean to finally living together an ocean beyond our comfort; life as a couple to life as a family with 2 beautiful children; life as an associates degree holder to life with an MBA. We are truly blessed. You are an amazing Daddy. The girls love you like no other.  All that you do and all that you are, makes us forever proud. You have come so far and achieved so much, we look forward to continuing the ride along side you. We look forward to pushing you, encouraging you, and cheering for you each and everyday. We love you! Happy "34rd" birthday, Chris and let me conclude with "only in Korea--the land of the not-quite-right." ;)

I will never forget that bmx bike or when you were on the search to find me a boyfriend. "Jessica, he drives a really nice car!" You forget the part about him being a complete LOSER!Ha ha those were the good ole days! You've come along way! Just don't forget I had my MASTERS first!! We love you guys, PLEASE move closer! Oh and I still need a thank you from you for letting you share one of my best friends. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!

J--you are such a hater. Jessica Dunkley had such a nice ring to it. THe guy did have a great vehicle and he wasn't THAT bad!! Really. We weren't sure what you we'd be able to get for you. ;) He was no Nate, that's for sure.

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
